HTTYP Part 4

Hiccup flinched at this and quickly held Emily's hand for comfort as Stoick was glaring heatedly at him.

"What did you do, boy?" He asked in a very ominous calm yet angry way.

This made Hiccup even more uncomfortable while hiding behind Emily who put herself in front of Hiccup to protect him as she was glaring daggers at Stoick.

"ANSWER ME, HICCUP! WHAT YOU JUST DID IS AN ACT OF TREASON! YOU COULD HAVE HAD EVERYTHING BUT INSTEAD YOU LET THE DAMN THING GO! WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU, HICCUP?!" Stoick yelled.

Hiccup fumbled over his words but was too afraid to answer his father while the TFP characters watched in concern.

"Can you stop yelling and listen to what your son-" Emily started calmly but was cut off by the angry chief.

"I didn't ask you to talk, Winters! This is between me and Hiccup! Now move out of the way and let him answer me!" Stoick yelled but Emily wasn't budging.

She just glared ten times more as her eyes were glowing brightly as her battle protocols were going wild and wanting to protect Hiccup.

"He would answer if you stop yelling! Hiccup did what no Viking has ever done! You said dragon killing isn't who he is, right? Then what you just saw proves that you are right about one thing! He won't and, I mean WON'T, kill an innocent being who's more human than others!" Emily exclaimed angrily.

The atmosphere just became more and more intense as Stoick was glaring at Emily and Hiccup at the same time then he said something that shocked and rattled Hiccup to his core.

"You're not a Viking. You're not my son."

This shocked the heir and made Hiccup start crying softly and Emily's glare softened as she hugged the fragile boy close to her. The villagers just watched in stunned silence as Stoick just sat back down and refused to meet the shock gaze of his people. The teens just stared wide-eyed at what just happened. Hiccup continued to cry silently before Sophia appeared with a peeved look in her eyes.

"One moment everything is fine and dandy but now. It's not. Okay, everyone. Time to change seats." She said while she motioned for Toothless to come down from where he is.

The Night Fury didn't hesitate and quickly went to where the blonde and his rider was as Emily let Hiccup rest against the Night Fury who let out a concerned warble.

The TFP characters sat close to them with Team Prime sitting behind them. June felt tears rise in her eyes at seeing the teen break down. Raf was close to crying and ran to Emily and hugged her. She hugged Raf to comfort him. The others joined them and gave each other a group hug.

The Decepticons just glared at the chief for disowning the kid. Unicra had to put a calming hand on Megatron's servo to calm him down before she spoke up.

"For a chief, you just did something stupid and idiotic. Disowning your own flesh and blood after seeing him setting the dragon free is one of the qualities of a true Viking." She said coldly.

Sophia watched everything go down as the TFP kids decided to sit by Emily, Hiccup and Toothless with the bluenette joining them before playing the movie.

It took a while for Hiccup to wake up around the early afternoon and explaining to him that the dragon in front of him was a friend and that he doesn't hurt anyone, Hiccup and Emily just left the woods after Hiccup spent hours sketching Optimus in his dragon form eagerly and both were now heading to the Haddock household.

Stoick clenched his fists. He's going to have to slay that beast and get Hiccup some help. Emily just held Hiccup close since he doesn't want to feel unsafe.

Emily opened the door for him as he entered. She follows but bumps into Hiccup who was frozen in place when he caught sight of Stoick. He quickly and quietly as he could walk past Stoick and crawls up the stairs stealthily as he might to not get noticed but Stoick notices him.

"Hiccup." Stoick called him and he winced as Emily was at the base of the stairs as she and Hiccup looked at each other as he stopped halfway up the stairs to his room.

"Busted!" Snotlout laughed mockingly as Unicra just rolled her eyes at him.

"Dad! Uh... I have to talk to you, Dad." Hiccup said as he walked down one step of the stairs as Stoick walked up to them.

"I need to speak with you too, son and Emily." Stoick said as Hiccup and Emily looked at each. Both father and son both took a deep breath before they both spoke at the same time.

"Oh for the love of Primus..." Emily muttered while rolling her eyes, already knowing what was about to happen.

"I've decided / I don't want / I think it's time you learn / to fight dragons. What?" They both said at the same time before looking at each other in confusion. All they know is that it has the word dragons in it as Emily coughed against her fist to avoid the awkwardness.

An awkward silence reigned over as Miko struggled not to burst out laughing.

"They both seriously changed their minds at the same time?" Tailgate asked in amusement.

"Sadly yes, they did." Emily said while shaking her head.

"Why don't you go first, Hiccup?" Emily suggested since Hiccup really needs to tell Stoick that he can't fight dragons.

"Emily, why did you told me to go first..." Hiccup whined as Emily chuckled softly.

"Your opinion is always important, bud." She said with a shrug.

"Uh, yes. You go first, son." Stoick said but Hiccup motioned for him to go first.

"No, no, you go first." Hiccup insisted as Stoick clasped his hands together and took a deep breath.

Hiccup just covered his face with his hands in embarrassment as Toothless let out a laugh.

"Laugh all you want, Toothless." Emily said with a chuckle.

"Alright. You get your wish. Dragon Training. You and Emily start in the morning." Stoick said and this just made the two teens tense up at that. They'll start what?!

"Our thoughts exactly!" Jack exclaimed.

"You're just gonna let kids train without supervision?!" June cried out in shock and worry.

Stoick has no words since the woman wasn't someone he knows so he just chose to stay silent.

"Oh, man, I should've gone first! Uh, 'cause I was thinking, you know, we have a surplus of dragon-fighting Vikings, but do we have enough... bread-making Vikings, or small home repair Vikings-?" Hiccup said as he tried to make his dad change his mind as Emily tried to deny the offer to even try the dragon training.

"I don't do well under pressure." Hiccup muttered and only loud enough for the TFP characters and the bluenette to hear.

"You're not the only one. Me, Miko and Raf have to keep the bots and the cons a secret from our friends until they were involved on a few occasions." Jack said while rubbing the back of his head.

"But at least we have great friends." Sierra said with a smile.

"I-I'm not too keen on fighting! I do create weapons, do other stuff and farming-" Emily said but both were cut off by Stoick who handed Hiccup an axe and Emily a sword.

Emily fidgeted at the sight of the sword while Unicra scoffed.

"I don't think that sword is well suited for her. Plus we have our own swords that were made by our makers." Unicra said while making her sword of destruction appear.

"I gotta agree with Unicra on this. The sword the chief gave me wasn't well suited for me." Emily said and made her sword of creation appear.

Hiccup marvelled at the beauty of the swords before returning his attention to the screen.

"You both will need this." Stoick said as Hiccup held the axe in both of his arms as the weight of the weapon almost made him fall off balance.

"Me and Emily don't want to fight dragons." Hiccup finally said but Stoick thought he was joking as he just laughed it off.

"Come on. Yes, both of you do." Stoick said as Emily sighed exasperatedly.

"Rephrase: Chief, we can't kill dragons." Emily said as she joined the argument.

"Technically, we don't kill an innocent creature." Emily said as she crossed her arms.

"But you two will kill dragons." Stoick said as Hiccup shook his head.

"No, I'm really very extra sure that we won't." Hiccup said as Stoick walked to him.

"I agree with the kid. Why force him to fight something that he can't kill. I mean, back on Cybertron, we weren't force into fighting until the war." Wheeljack said.

"That's Stoick for you, Wheeljack. And trust me. He doesn't listen." Emily replied.

"It's time, Hiccup." Stoick said as Hiccup and Emily were getting desperate.

"Can you not hear me?!" Hiccup pleaded but it looks like Stoick isn't listening.

"Obviously." Hiccup muttered.

June was fuming as she was going to give Stoick a long hard talk about how to talk to his own son.

"This is serious, son! When you carry this axe, you carry all of us with you. Which means you walk like us. You talk like us. You think like us. And, Emily, it is also time for you to be accepted into the tribe. And no more of... this." Stoick said as he then gestured to Hiccup in the end and the teen looked a little annoyed.

"You just gestured to all of him again." Miko huffed while crossing her arms. Stoick just got the 'Worst Dad Award' in her book.

"You just gestured to all of me." Hiccup said.

"Deal?" Stoick asked.

"This conversation is feeling very one-sided." Hiccup said but stopped when he saw the look on his dad's face.

"DEAL?!" He asked again as Hiccup sighed and looked down.

"Deal." Hiccup said with Emily puffing her cheeks a little.

"Yes, sir." She said meekly as Stoick nodded, satisfied as he picked up a pack.

Optimus sent a loving and amused pulse through his sparkbond to his mate as Emily blushed lightly as returned the gesture.

"Good. Train hard. I'll be back. Probably." Stoick said as he headed out to the door after putting on his helmet.

"And I'll be here. Maybe." Hiccup said but he doubted his dad heard him as he sighed.

"What do you mean by maybe?" Astrid asked in confusion.

"He would probably run away or leave the island since he doesn't want to kill an innocent dragon." Emily answered.

"Yeah, there were times that I considered running away." Hiccup added.

Both Emily and Hiccup both stood in silence as they contemplated on what to do.

"So... What's the plan?" Emily asked him meekly as he groaned.

"I-I don't know! I finally got the chance to start dragon training after begging my dad to let me start but it's also the day that I just discovered that I can't kill dragons! This is so messed up! How am I going to survive this?!" Hiccup ranted out as he ran his hands through his hair in panic after he put the axe down.

The TFP teens with the Autobots and Decepticons couldn't help but feel sorry for the kid. Megatron was watching on silently and couldn't help but remember the Caste System on Cybertron.

"Hiccup." Emily called him and pushed him down on the chair while putting her hands on his shoulder.

"Calm down. Look, we're both put in dragon training and your dad expects us to fight dragons when we don't even want to hurt them. We can try to skip and avoid the training but I know your dad probably told Gobber to wake us up in the morning. So it's best that we eat up and try and get some sleep for the training, okay?" Emily reassured him as he took deep breaths to calm down as he nodded slowly.

"You always know what to say to calm me down from my panic attacks, Emily." Hiccup said as Emily ruffled his hair.

"No problem." She said as they resumed their attention back to the screen.

"O-Okay. Sorry I exploded like that, Emily." Hiccup said as he looked down.

"It's okay, Hic. We just didn't expect this is all. Everything is going to be fine in the end, you'll see." She gave him an encouraging smile to which he smiled back.

"Thanks, Ems. I wouldn't know what to do if you weren't here." He said as she laughed.

"You're my friend, Hiccup. I'll always be there for ya." She smiled.

Optimus felt a slight pang of pain in his spark. He remembered the promise he made for her when they confessed to each other but he then remembered when Emily still had her human body and when she risked her life to save him from Megatron. Emily senses the pain and sadness through their bond and his EM field. She let her EM field out and brushed against him in reassurance that it won't happen again.

They both ate dinner while Emily was telling Hiccup the time she and the bots encountered the scraplets before they went to bed after eating dinner.

"Did you really have to tell him that, Emily?" Ratchet questioned her as Emily shrugged.

"Couldn't help it. Plus Bulkhead's reaction back then is hilarious." Emily snickered.

"Hey, Emily?" Hiccup asked after a moment of silence.

"Yeah?" Emily answered quietly.

"What's Cybertron like?" He asked as he faced her as she was looking at the ceiling on her hammock.

"Well, Cybertron is a very different place. Everything is made of greenery but more peaceful. It's been only once when I first saw my home island when we were fighting for the Omega Keys against the Decepticons." Emily told him.

"Oh. Well, what are the Decepticons? You said before that they're your enemies." Emily sighs at this as she thought of how to explain what the Decepticons are like.

"Well, the Decepticons are a ruthless group of bad people that are power hungry. Megatron, the leader and Lord of the Decepticons, was a gladiator champion once in Isle of Kaon that goes by the name of Megatronus once. But he shortened his name to Megatron when he and his friend, Orion Pax, who was a librarian, went to the council. There he showed his true colors. But Orion believed that Cybertron shouldn't be led by violence and he was given the title of the next Prime. Megatron, with anger and hatred, severs all ties with Orion and leads his group, the Decepticons, to find the ancient relic, the Matrix of leadership. War raged on Cybertron and Orion was the one who found the Matrix of Leadership when he stood upon the leader of my home. The ailing Primus gave the matrix to Orion and was now Optimus Prime. Both of us are the last Primes." Emily finished as Hiccup was stunned speechless at this. Two islands waging war and led by a former gladiator and librarian were given a relic and both sides are still fighting?! Whoa...

Miko just burst out laughing with the other teens joining as Emily hid her face on Optimus' shoulder strut. The Decepticons and Autobots just stared at Emily in disbelief.

"What am I supposed to tell him?! He was curious so I had to come up with something!" Emily yelled in embarrassment.

They didn't talk after that and both fell asleep after two hours of silence as the next day will be a new day.

"Yeah! You totally had to, Emily. Cause who would believe that Cybertron is another planet full of sentient alien robots." Miko said with a snicker.
